Fish Factory Creative Centre Residency

The Residency is multi-disciplinary and open for most creative directions: Visual Art, New Media, Printmaking, Ceramic, Sculpture, Dance, Performing Arts, Land Art, Textile Art, Music, Literature, Crafts, Sustainable Design, Engineering & Photography.

The purpose of the program is to provide emerging and established artists, creatives, designers and progressive thinkers a port for free expression and a place to meet with other creative people in a small collaborative community. We offer our artists time and space to focus and introspect on their practice on their own terms. Therefore there is no obligation placed on our participating artists to have any kind of artistic output to the broader community. We offer a shared studio space (95 m2) for eight artists. The Centre is equipped with wood & metal workshops, a ceramic workshop, a printmaking workshop, a kitchen, and a Concert hall. Workshop access excludes Studio Silo, which can be booked for an additional fee. See more information about workshops and facilities HERE.
The duration of residencies in 2023 is between 1 and 6 months (full calendar months, from the first day of the month to the last day of the month). If an artist wants to lead a workshop, exhibit their works, hold a concert, or perform or read poetry, we are up for most things.
